I do not disagree with the right for peaceful protest; however, those military members gave their lives so we can have the right for peaceful protest as well as all of our other freedoms! Taking a "knee" during the national anthem or not saluting the flag is, in my mind as well as that of many others, not a protest. It is nothing but the same as urination on the graves of those military deaths! There are many other peaceful means of protesting racial, other inequalities, government activity or lack thereof.
